Babble babble babble
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I had a great birthday – McNuggets, a bubble bath, and an early bedtime. Novel concept alert: going to bed early counteracts the 50978347683758274871895 times I wake up at night for the restroom, so I actually am (slowly) starting to feel less sleep-deprived. I still am ready for Little [...]
Still here, still pregnant
And am I an ornery pregnant lady, too. My hide is a little chappy because once again, we’re getting into that territory of “Elise is not doing X at her age, I’d like an evaluation done when she’s 2 if she’s not doing it by then.” We don’t agree that if X isn’t happening by [...]
Baby Update
I just finished with our 37-week check-up and we are AWESOME. – Little One is totally head down, and the ‘bump’ at the top of my uterus is actually LO’s butt. How cute. – I’m still gaining weight (I think I’m almost +30 for this pregnancy) but that’s not cause for concern. – The weird [...]
A Few Thoughts on Homemaking
Exspectantes posted a post yesterday afternoon that really has me thinking. Her thoughts on making a home, especially why it’s so important to her. I suppose this isn’t shocking to anyone, but my mom is the typical ‘Type A personality’ (which is something her and I get a lot of laughs out of). I’m somewhat [...]
Yay kids!
All the pain from yesterday has subsided. Which I guess is okay, Greg can testify that I was pretty crabby by the end of the day. I think it stopped sometime overnight, because I haven’t noticed it today. That’s about 14+ hours of pain – yuck. On the upside, Little One did drop (a lot) [...]
Stress Mess
Something that has become glaringly obvious this Lent is how I react to stress. Different kinds of stress produce in me different reactions, and not really any of them are good. When I’m tired. I’m a basket case of emotion and crying all over the place. When I’m in pain, my short temper comes out [...]
Insomnia + RLS = Sleep FAIL
In the last 48 hours, I have slept for 10. I wish I could say it was due to labor but alas, it’s due to insomnia + RLS. The worst was waking up Friday morning at 5am and not falling asleep until … 2am, this morning. Thank God Greg and his mom are doing shifts [...]
The RLS returns
I’m happy to say that today has been oodles better than yesterday. I still am not sleeping very well (which may be part of the reason why I feel so unsteady lately), but fidelity to my little prayer routine has really been beneficial in getting through the humps of hormones and whatever the Other Side [...]
Ash Wednesday
Lent officially begins today, and I’ve already had a rough day. I think it’s one part due to pregnancy hormones and one part due to the Other Side not liking what all is going on. Greg, Elise, and I all made it to Mass for our ashes (Elise thought our ashes were OH SO FASCINATING, [...]
Lent 2010
I think a conclusion has finally been reached with what I’m going to do for Lent. Since I’m pregnant (and my OB has expressed that I do NOT need to be losing weight in this final stretch) and will be nursing; I am exempted from the Lenten fasts relating to food. Or rather, I get [...]
